From Hershey. Nice light chocolatey taste. Perfect with a nice cup of coffee - these muffins are moist and not too sweet.

    this was definitely a good recipe! i made a few changes. i only added 1/2 cup of sugar and i added some mini choco. chips. next time i may even add less sugar. my only complaint was that the muffins stuck TERRIBLY to the paper liners. i recomend not using liners at all and greasing your miffin tins really well. over all very easy and a nice lowfat/calorie snack!

    I love the recipe! I know why, I already had it in my recipe book! I halved this recipe and it made 6 nice sized muffins. The only change I made was it called for 3/8 c. sugar and I reduced that down to 1/3 c. Great muffin with no oil, butter or eggs and a light chocolate taste. I think it would be good with some mini chocolate chips in it or even some nuts. Great recipe!

    Try making quantities for 8 and baking in a loaf tin.Slice into 8 slices. Serve with yoghurt and fruit. Great WW dessert for 1 1/2pts
